Chereads / Love Yourself / Chapter 2 - Chapter Two

Chapter 2 - Chapter Two

We have discussed this all week and the arguments are always the same: "We have no choice", "We are no longer able to live here" and yet I am still against it. They never listened to me, it is not now that they will change their attitude. One thing I would like to change about them, this way of acting as if my opinion and what I think about it do not matter. Sometimes they ask what I think about something, but it is useless because my opinion will never be taken seriously. The same thing is about this trip, I don't want to but I will have to go against my will.

My friends and I were at a coffee shop in City Square. It was here where we met so I come here often.

- Perhaps this trip to Canada will be an incredible opportunity for you. - Elliot says while eating his ice cream.

- That's not the problem. Of course, I want to travel, see the world, but not now. Now I want to enjoy this new phase of my life here.

- Where are you going again? - Olivia asks me.

- Canada. - I say without any happiness.

- Really? When I went to travel last year with my parents, we went to France. - Lana says, as if it were the first time she told about her trip. When she traveled last year it was a whole month talking about how beautiful France is. We didn't say anything because she was so excited when she talked about it. Since then, whenever she has the opportunity she brings it up.

- Lana, you went for tourism, Ayla is going to live. That is the question. - Amanda finally manifests. She is a little more shy than the others. Her black hair is always tied in a bun, unlike Lana and Olivia, who leave their brown hair loose. She usually wears wider clothes like jackets and pants, very different from Lana, who loves wearing dresses and shorts, with Olivia it is the same.

- I know but if I could choose, I would want to live in some warm country. January is a month away and it's probably winter there. - Lana has been to Canada this time of year and she says it is really very cold. Great, now I still have to endure the cold.

- Even though my parents say let's go and live, I hope that one day I will come back because I don't know how long I will be able to stay there. - I drink some of my cappuccino. It's summer but I really love cappuccino. - One day they'll realize they made a mistake and we'll be back, so I don't even have to worry about it too much.

- I would say that if only your mother had agreed to move, but your father also agreed so I think it's hard for you to come back. - Elliot says.

- Thank you, Elliot. Helped me a lot.

- I'm just trying to be realistic and positive at the same time. You can't create high expectations, but you can't be too negative.

- Tell me three good points about moving?

- You will meet new people, new places and a new culture. - He says like it's something wonderful to me.

- Elliot there is winter. What kind of places could she visit when it was cold? I mean, in the cold there is no way to go to the beach, pools and let alone pool parties. - Lana really loves things related to swimming pools. Once at Olivia's birthday party she went into the pool even though she had a cold. Obviously her cold got worse and she had to stay in the hospital for a week because of that. After that her mother cut off any kind of contact with Olivia, but nowadays that has changed a little. The relationship is not like before but it has already improved a lot. If you are going to have a party and want to invite her, you have to make sure there is a pool, otherwise the chances of her going are very low.

- Lana, have you ever stopped to think that summer and the beach are not everything? In the winter we can also do several things that you can't do in the summer. - He says with conviction.

- Really? Like what? - Amanda asks, joining the conversation. Admit me that she wants to know, she doesn't even like summer, much less winter. Amanda says she doesn't like any season, so the weather is at 23 ° C is great.

- Ice skating, snow skiing, making snowmen. There are a lot of fun things we can do in the winter, so don't worry about it too much, Ayla.

- I wish I didn't have to worry about anything. - Back in the chair already defeated. I'm really going to go.

- Don't worry about the music group. We will be able to find someone to replace you. - Lana says, taking her sparkling water.

I had completely forgotten. The music group. The group that I tried so hard to enter and now I will leave it so easy. I don't know if at that other school there will be any vacancies available in any group. Probably not. Remembering that, I get even more angry at having to move.

- You will get a place in your new school, don't be thinking about it too much. - Olivia says.

- Ayla needs to improve on many things, mainly on the guitar but I think she gets some opportunity there. - Amanda says.

- Thank you guys. But now I have to go. I still have to pack some things for the trip so I need to go. - I leave the money in the account, get up and head towards the exit. On the way I hear them saying something.

- You will rock, Ayla! - Elliot says.

- Good luck! - I hear Amanda say.

- You can! - Olivia says.

I don't hear Lana say anything, so I give them one last wave and get out of the coffee pot.

If I had a place, any place I could go to other than my home now I would like to go to that place. To be able to escape from everything and everyone, just for a few moments.

I really like to observe nature, if there is any place I love to be in nature.

Seeing the animals, listening to the birds singing and watching the butterflies fly has no price to pay for the wonderful feeling that these things give me.

Sometimes when I have a few moments like this, I like to write some songs watching the sunset, wondering what it would be like if one day the sun didn't appear anymore, what life would be like for people. They would probably die, because the sun is light that keeps us alive. Some people are like that for others, their light keeps them alive, motivated and focused. The person you love can be that light in your life, and without it your world would end, just as the world would break if the sun failed to appear.

I would like to have that form of light. But at the moment, the only light that keeps me warm is that huge fire star that rises every day in the blue sky.
